Obsessive Consumption book on the T Magazine Blog + Daily Candy

“Read from beginning to end, 'Obsessive Consumption’ reveals a happy (if somewhat guilty) grasshopper who likes a good bargain as much as she likes a good burrito. Bingaman-Burt engages in the same name-brand culture as the rest of us, but in her life, at least, it’s art.” - Andy Port on Kate Bingaman-Burt’s new book, Obsessive Consumption, in the T Magazine Blog

Daily Candy's online version of The Weekend Guide also suggests you flip through Kate's book, noting, “Because buying it is delightfully meta.”

Not that we're not excited about the gorgeous weather as of late, but spring turns our minds to the fantastic museum and gallery shows going up, coming down, and vying for our attention in this season of artful heavy-hitters. What we're trying to say is, make sure to enjoy the sunshine, but don't miss Valerie Hegarty's show Cosmic Collisions, currently on view at Nicelle Beauchene through this Sunday only!
